Hi All,
I am designing a PCB which has got some fuse holders on it for power distribution. I am unsure about the track width I should be using.
There is a single power in connector and 10 fuse holders. Each fuse holder will contain a 2 Amp fuse. Therefore the power track supplying the fuse holders will have a maximum of 20A @ 12V. The PCB manufacturer I am using uses 35µm Cu thick metal.
I have used the circuitcalculator.com website to calculate the track width and it says it should be 18.7mm. It doesn't use voltage in this calculation, so could someone confirm that this is correct?
If anyone has a simple method they use to calculate track widths could they let me have it.
Many thanks in advance!
